Congratulations ScottAZ -- Winner of the 2009 Good Phight World Series Prediction Contest
The World Series is over, and the results of the 2009 Good Phight World Series Prediction Contest are in. Congratulations to ScottAZ for getting 6 points in the context. FuquaManuel tied ScottAZ, but as the rules state, I did a random drawing and ScottAZ won. I'll be contacting ScottAZ shortly...
Monday's Frosty Mug
Some things to read while realizing you left your credit card in your other armor. Thanks to Dan, Tyler and Rubie for filling in for me last week while I took a quick break to experience life in New York for a few days. Writing the Mug is no small feat, and all three of them did admirable work in...
The Weekend Linkfest!
Some things to read while being a real man or while putting up your holiday decorations. I would like to preface this by kind of letting everyone know what is going on. As KL posted friday, Morineko, FtJ and I will be your new weekend editors. What that means is we will be hanging around and...
Something about new ballparks
The first Yankee Stadium was built in 1923. The Yankees won the World Series (for the first time) over the New York Giants that year. The first year of the 'overhauled' Yankee Stadium was 1976. The Yanks won the pennant (for the first time in 12 years), but lost the World Series to the Big Red...
Victory parade from the fans' perspective
Putting aside his reporter hat in favor of being a dad for the day, Tyler Kepner of the New York Times took his 7-year-old son to Friday's victory parade and mixed with the throng of celebrating Yankee fans. The result was that Kepner had a great day with his son. And, maybe because I am dad with...

The 2009 World Series: The Boring One
We're now on our second day post-World Series, and I can't fight off this nagging feeling that the championship series I just watched was, well, pretty damn boring. Yes, it was a World Series, and with the Phillies' long record of futility, there's really no ground for complaining when the team...
"Long is the way...
And hard, that out of hell leads up to light." That's how it felt in 2001 and 2004. The way those seasons ended were the equivalent of baseball hell. An error and bloop single in the ninth inning of game seven in 2001... and of course the (in)famous and unprecedented collapse in 2004. Because of...
I'm happy for...
I was happy for a lot of our guys when they won the pennant, but I'm positively giddy thinking about the team now. We can now look at every guy on the team and say: 'He's got a ring.' No one will ever take that away from them. When they're 50 and retired, we know they'll have at least one...
